iii-W!! I l I llirn STATES JAMES O. BROOKBANK, OF DBIFTWOOD, PENNSYLVANIA.

WATER-COOLER.

SPECIFICATIONforming part of Letters Patent No. 309,127, dated December 9, 1884.

Application filed October 7, 1884.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES O. BRooKBANK, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Driftwood, in the county of Cameron and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Water- Coolers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in watercoolers; and it consists in providing a water-cooler with two stopcocks or faucets which are upon different planes, and in providing the cooler internally with an inclined portion, which inclined portion extends from one faucet to the other, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth, and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate my invention, Figures 1 and 2 are sectional views taken, respectively, on the line .fr x and g/ y.

A represents a cooler, tank, or receptacle, which is provided on opposite sides with stopcocks or faucets B B, which are located upon different planes.

C represents an inclined block, which is provided with a V-shaped recess, C', which eX- tends from the faucet B to the upper faucet, B, the greatest depth of the V-shaped recess being adjacent to the faucet B.

(No model.)

From the foregoing it will be readily seen that any sediment or heavy impurities will collect in the lower portion of the V-shaped recess, and may be readily withdrawn through the faucet B. The water to be used is drawn from the faucet B, and is free from sediment.

rIhe cooler A may be attached to the base A, so that the same may be turned upon the base when it is .desired to rotate the cooler so as to bring either of the faucets to the front.

I claiml. In a water-cooler, the receptacle A, provided with faucets B B, upon different planes, and an inclined bottom having a V-shaped tapering recess, substantially as shown, and for the purpose set forth.

2. A water cooler having a base or bottom with an inclined tapering recess, the lower portion of said recess being adjacent to a faucet, B, and above the base With a faucet, B, substantially as shown, and for the purpose set forth.

3. In a water-cooler having an inclined bottom, C, and faucets B B', for the purpose set forth, the base A', supporting the cooler, so that the same may be rotated thereon, for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JAMES o. BRooKBANn.
